Orbi85

[mwatsont]

I have an Orbi85 with one satellite and having speed issues.  Even standing next to the router, I was getting speeds of around 20mbps.  I reset both router and satellite and immediately got speeds closer to 300mbps.  About 45 min later, I retested and speeds dropped to around 60-80mpbs everywhere in the house using different devices to test (even standing next to the router).  The internet to router speed still tests around 300mpbs.  Why would speeds drop like that for no apparent reason?  How can I get them back up to above 200mpbs?

also make sure you post more details. 

Like: 

firmware:

modem/gateway its connected to? 

Device you're speedtesting on?

How you're testing speeds? built in speedtest? using an app? hardwired? 

Details are key in helping.
